Evidence Based Intensive Therapy Services.
Perkhidmatan Terapi Intensif Berasaskan Bukti
Providing world class therapy services in Miri Malaysia, based on the very latest research and evidence-based practices from one of Australia's finest paediatric therapy teams.
→ When a child makes good associations with therapy, when they trust their therapist, when they enjoy their time learning new skills, it makes for powerful neuroplastic responses.
"Parents deserve an approach that honours their child's potential and makes the journey exciting."
→ Builds intrinsic motivation and true autonomy by tapping into what motivates the child. It's child initiated - not therapist initiated.
It may take time but the child is learning by doing it themselves, by themselves, for themselves. Motivation matters. It's all about a cognitive engagement not a reflexive moment.
→ Real-world, meaningful skills that transfer to daily life. It's important that clinical skill acquisition translate into the real-world.
Strength is great but making it FUNctional is the key.
It's about being specific in learning a new skill.
→ Faster mastery with cutting-edge strategies. Intensive therapy is not merely about intensity.
It's about calculated rest and recovery phases and giving time to consolidate new learnings.
The right dosage is not always the maximum dosage.
Finding the balance is important. Our dosage is informed by the latest research, science and data.
→ We don't go to therapy to be good at therapy, we go to therapy to improve our quality of life and meaningful participation.
The translation of therapy from the clinic to the real world is a vital component of the START framework.
You won't find a reliance on outdated manual facilitation techniques, or an over-emphasis on balance and core strength part-task practice that is not reflective of the real world.
→ Turning therapy into a joyful journey of growth, building confidence, independence, and a love for learning that transforms clinic skills to life skills.
Gently reshaping neural pathways through play and positive experiences.
No cortisol inducing "No pain, no gain" philosophy. Cortisol inhibits growth and development. We don't push through crying in sessions - it's more than a positive mindset.
